One of my cats (the mischievous one) loves to explore the hallway outside my apartment whenever she gets the chance. I usually let her out for a few minutes in the morning while I put on shoes and take out the litter.
This morning, however, I forgot to take her back in. I was in quite a distracted state, but still, I’ve always remembered numerous times before. Thank goodness I came home at lunch to pick up some stuff. She has an identifying collar, and she’d never take the elevator on her own, but she was quite upset. She was pacing in an agitated manner, and talking to me quite loudly when I came out of the elevator. Knowing her, however, this won’t dampen her curiosity and enthusiasm for the mysterious “outdoors”.
